In the US, as in all countries affected by Covid-19, many businesses are closing and people are losing their jobs or risking no pay. One of the businesses that closed was Joannes' Trattoria restaurant in New York, owned by Lady Gaga's father, Joe Germanotta.
Like many other businesses, Joe reached out to people to help him pay his employees. At GoFundMe he aimed to raise $ 50,000.
"I'm doing my best, but I had to shut down Joanne for this month. Our staff needs financial help, so any help for us is worth it, ?he wrote in a Twitter post (via Cosmopolitan), already deleted.
Sure, his initiative is a way to help employees, which is worth appreciating, but hey, his daughter has a fortune of $ 300 million.
People on Twitter initially criticized Lady Gaga's father, who did not address the daughter but also the singer.
?Lady Gaga, I pay my father's staff. It is disgusting to have had to seek the help of others, ?writes one. "I am shocked that Joe Germanotta is seeking financial help while his daughter has $ 300 million," adds another. "Joe: Can you help me with the financial costs? Lady Gaga: Dad, I'm too busy staying in the bathtub, ?ironic another.
